DETROIT, Mich (WXYZ) - Police say a thief who tried to rob the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society on Detroit's east side was shot and killed by an 88-year-old employee who had his own gun.
Officers say the 53-year-old suspect forced his way into the clinic after it closed on Saturday. He then roughed up the 88-year-old World War II veteran and demanded money. The 88-year-old is believed to be the clinic's doctor.
However, police say the victim grabbed his own gun and fired two shots, killing the suspect. The man does have a permit to carry the gun.
Even though police say it appears the shooting was justified, they will still send the case to the prosecutor. That is standard procedure in cases like this.

“But Doctor, doesn’t your oath require you to ‘first, do no harm’?”
“I abated a dangerous public nuisance; where’s the harm in that?!?”
“I don’t have a permit to talk, pray, post comments online, peacefully assemble with like-minded individuals, write my thoughts,or my permit for a speedy trial by my peers.”
Well, if Obama is reelected, by 2016 you will NEED one;)
Sometimes his job requires him to euthanize animals.
When you’re a robber and your 88-year-old mark gets the drop on you and kills you, it’s God’s way of telling you you’re in the wrong line of work.
